President Kim Il Sung founded the immortal Juche idea that the popular masses are the master of revolution and they promote the revolution and construction for the first time in history, and led the arduous anti-Japanese war to victory under the unfurled banner of independence. Flunkeyism and dogmatism were rejected and national chauvinism was smashed in the bloody and decisive resistance against the brigandish Japanese imperialists, and the ideological system of Juche and the indomitable revolutionary spirit, the foundation of the revolutionary traditions of the WPK, were provided in the course of firmly adhering to the independent stand. The charge spirit, stout fighting spirit and spirit of independence to liberate the country and build a socialist paradise with one's own efforts were the life and soul of the anti-Japanese revolutionary fighters.
